I can't remember any figures, but my rear pads don't seem to last
long and I don't think that the caliper is seized on.

Eh? Either you're used to fantastic rear brakes or there's
something wrong with yours; my theory for why I use up rear pads is that
the rear brake is so good that I use it! As far as I can remember, the
British bike press were favourably impressed with the rear brake on the
ST as well.
